Voidly
Sixteen datasets on how power stays hidden, what the law permits, and who holds people. Each is built from public records, source-cited line by line, and published as keyless open data. Every dataset records institutions, laws, and designations — never private individuals.
Voidly began as the global censorship index — 2.2B+ measurements of internet blocking, throttling, and shutdown events across 200 countries, cross-referenced against OONI, CensoredPlanet, and IODA, with ML anomaly classification and 7-day shutdown forecasting. That index now anchors a wider set of accountability datasets: banned books, the surveillance industry, beneficial-ownership registers, sanctions authorities, information-rights and data-protection laws, foreign-held farmland, foreign money in universities, grid ownership, organ procurement, immigration detention, the 287(g) deputization wave, the federal prison system, genetic privacy, and the federal AI use-case inventory.
